In the quietude of Safdarjung Enclave, New Delhi, the Mahant family faced a profound loss. Mr. Surinder Dass Mahant, a cherished father, grandfather, and friend, had passed away at the age of 81 on a serene October day in 2024. His departure left a void that echoed through their lives, but amidst their grief, the family found a glimmer of hope—a way to honor his legacy.
In their sorrow, the Mahants turned to the internet, searching for ways to make a difference. It was during this search that they stumbled upon a heartfelt article penned by Dr. Sanoop Kumar Sherin Sabu. The piece illuminated the noble initiative of pacemaker donation, a cause that resonated deeply with them. The idea that their father’s pacemaker, a device that had once sustained his life, could offer a second chance to another family was both comforting and inspiring.
As they read about the campaign run by Dr. Sanoop Kumar Sherin Sabu (GEM Hospital Chennai) , Dr. Irene Rose (Ophthalmologist) and Dr. John Roshan (CMC Vellore), they learned how these devices, often discarded after a loved one’s passing, could be repurposed to save lives. The Mahants realized that in their father’s passing lay an opportunity to extend compassion to others grappling with similar health challenges. This revelation turned their grief into action.
With hopeful spirits, the family reached out to Dr. Sanoop Kumar, expressing their desire to donate their father’s pacemaker. They envisioned a family somewhere, perhaps a mother or father, desperately wishing for a chance to hold their loved ones close, just as they had with Mr. Mahant. This act of kindness became a tribute not only to Surinder’s life but also to the values he instilled in his family—compassion, empathy, and the belief that love can transcend even the finality of death.
On the day of the donation, the Mahants gathered, reflecting on the life of a man who had touched so many hearts. Surinder’s laughter, wisdom, and warmth filled their memories, as they prepared to send a part of him into the world to help someone else. They understood that while he was no longer with them physically, his spirit would live on through this act of generosity.
The family shares about Mr. Mahant as:- “ Mr Surinder Dass Mahant was a man with a gentle and kind heart. His nurturing and helpful ideologies, will keep persevering in the lives he touched. We all hope that humanity helps each other in dire needs.”
In their journey of hopeful spirit, the Mahants became advocates for pacemaker donations, sharing their story to inspire others facing similar losses. They found solace in knowing that through their father’s legacy, they could help others find their way back to life, reminding us all that in the face of loss, there is always an opportunity to give, to heal, and to honor those we love.
